Dwayne Peel Ahead of the LV=

Sale Sharks scrum half, Dwayne Peel, looking ahead to our first LV= Cup game of the season, against London Irish

The performances over recent weeks have been a glowing example of our commitment and endeavour

It's LV= Cup week and the boys are on a high, having recorded our first win of the league campaign. Obviously we are all disappointed at the lack of results this year in the Premiership, but I can assure you that everyone is working extremely hard to put things right. The performances over recent weeks have been a glowing example of this, in terms of commitment and endeavour.

Games against London Irish have been closely fought encounters over the past few years. Last Friday's Premiership, started really well and I felt we were more than deserving of the win. The pack, in particular, were outstanding and the hard running of Johnny Leota and Sammy Tuitupou in the middle, was a real threat for us.

It's also awesome to see young guys like Tommy Taylor and Ross Harrison playing so well. They are two hard working guys, who are getting their just rewards!

It's a weird situation to find ourselves, playing back-to-back games against Irish. This week's match should be another great spectacle, with a few fresh faces from last week, having a run on both sides I'm sure. The Madejski Stadium is an awesome stadium and one we'll relish playing at.

This competition is an important one for us and the energy in training this week has been great! We have Thursday off and then a big training day Friday and team run on Saturday, before we head down to London.
